Commencement

Commencement is the highlight of the academic year, when we celebrate our students and their achievements.

Commencement 2025

Franklin Cummings Tech’s 117th Commencement on May 17, 2025 was a joyous celebration of our more than 300 graduates, who were cheered on by an exuberant crowd of family, friends, and supporters who filled the college auditorium.

The Class of 2025 had the honor of being the final class to graduate from our 41 Berkeley Street campus. The college will be relocating in early 2026 to our new, purpose-built campus at 1011 Harrison Ave. in Roxbury’s Nubian Square.

Commencement featured a keynote speech by electric vehicle guru, entrepreneur, and YouTuber Rich “Rebuilds” Benoit, who was awarded an honorary doctorate of Business Administration from the college.
